ive always liked the Axis Pentas the question is what size to get i dont know about 19's cause it would look pretty 4x4 without a drop and a-spec kit so im leaning towards 18's with the 2" lip in front and 3" lip in back for the fake staggered look

There must be a reason why you liek the RJ's. After all, the way you mod your car is a reflection of your taste, not other people's taste. I'm sure you are not the only one who likes them as shown by the photos we receive. They are a perfect fit, there is a part # specifically built for the 3rd Gen TL to clear brembos, clear the fender without modifications and they are hubcentric for a smooth ride without vibrations.

The only finishes available in 18" are the Raven Black machined face, Liquid Graphite and the Raven Black with redline.

We have quite a few photos of the NBP TL with a variety of different finishes in our gallery section of our website so you know what your car will look like when you purchase. If you don't see the exact setup on your car, then that qualifies you for the Photo Exchange promotion which is a refund of a specific amount of the cost when we receive your car pics with the wheels on.

If you have any questions, please call in or email me, I'd be more than happy to answer any questions you have. Try calling the other wheel companies and ask about caliper clearance and hubcentric applications. There is a difference between a universal wheel and a wheel that was built specifically for your car.

PS. We don't have many pics of the NBP with 18" LG Legends, but this has them:




and even though this car doesn';t have a drop, lowering the car will help overall with the look of the entire vehicle, not just the wheels:



19" for the hell of it:

BTW, check out all the vibration threads members are posting, it's a common problem that universal wheel companies simply don't care about.

I like the Ronjon Legend wheels. Especially after viewing the post from Rondog showing the 3 pictures of the cars with these wheels.

If you go 19", I would suggest the Raven Black Machined, even in 18", because it has a really nice two tone that shines like no other. Also, the raven black tends to look a bit larger than its actual diameter since the spokes look a little thinner. Here are some examples:

At that point, you might as well just go 18" since 235/40/18 tires are suggested for that diameter. You can still get away with 245/40/18, but no way can you do 245/40/19.
